South Carolina state flag. Crescent portion of the flag was designed by Col. William Moultrie in 1775 to match the emblem worn on the hats of S.C. troops and the color of their uniforms. Palmetto tree added later to represent Moultrie’s heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan’s Island against the attack of the British fleet on June 28, 1776. (from the card) Thank you Carly!

South Carolina is a state in the United States that borders Georgia to the south and North Carolina to the north. Originally part of the Province of Carolina, the Province of South Carolina was one of the 13 colonies that declared independence from the British Crown during the American Revolution. South Carolina was the first state to vote to secede from the Union and was the founding state of the Confederate States of America. The colony was originally named in honor of King Charles I, as Carolus is Latin for Charles. According to an estimate by the United States Census Bureau, the state's population in 2009 was 4,561,242 and ranked 24th among the U.S. states. South Carolina contains 46 counties and its capital is Columbia. ( via Wikipedia ) Motto: While I Breath, I hope                       Bird: Carolina Wren Flower: Yellow Jessamine      ...
